An unusual blend of 50% Montepulciano and 50% Aglianico, the 2010 Pregio del Conte is also the sweetest and richest of these 2010s from Saladini Pilastri. Blackberry jam, crushed rocks, grilled herbs, spices and leather flow from a large-scaled, opulent wine frame. The 2010 should hit the early part of its drinking window over the next year and continue to drink well for the better part of this decade. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2020.
Saladini Pilastri excels with a broad range of value-priced wines that are loaded with character and personality.
